So far, at least, U.S. Defense Secretary Bob Gates is resisting Israeli bluster by Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu for a military strike against Tehran, the baseline of the “all options are on the table” statements.
That said, if we can’t knock out off of Iran’s nuclear capacity with one strike, there’s no way Israel can. And, without U.S. permission to overfly Iraq, Israel can’t mount that good of an attack anyway.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
